Docker Universal Control Plane provides built-in authentication and also
integrates with LDAP directory services. If you want to manage
users and groups from your organization’s directory, choose LDAP.
Learn to integrate with an LDAP directory.

When using the UCP built-in authentication, you need to create users and
optionally grant them UCP administrator permissions.

Each new user gets a default permission level so that they can access the
swarm.

To create a new user, go to the UCP web UI, and navigate to the
Users page.

Click the Create User button, and fill-in the user information.

Check the Is a UCP admin? option, if you want to grant permissions for the
user to change the swarm configuration and manage grants, roles, and
collections.
